Evan - I'm having horrible problems with 5.5 and the new MOTU PCI 324 driver using the 308 and 2408 interfaces. Like you, Logic won't boot half the time, when it does boot it comes up at 44.1K sampling rate when the PCI324 Console and my word clock are set to 48K.  When I change the sample rate in Logic, most of the time it crashes.  In the few instances when it stayed on, there were very noticable timing problems between audio and midi.  Emagic is testing it over the weekend and will hopefully get back to me next week, but for the moment, for me, Logic and OS 10 (10.2.4) are a total bust.  When I boot Logic with the Apple audio driver, it works fine. I've also noticed that when I set the PCI 324 to be my system audio device, Quicktime and iTunes have nasty noisy artifacts. I think this release of the PCI 324 driver is a no go. Anyone else having problems with this system? James Ryan Rampage Music New York

You should change the subject line of your post to "MOTU Drivers Suck" or something like that. As far as I can gather from your message, Logic 6 is not at fault with regards to your booting / timing problems. (MOTU hardware and drivers are notorious for not working as well with non-MOTU app's as they do with MOTU's own programs.) Anyway, the initial impression I got when perusing your post is that Logic 6 is somehow buggy. That's really not fair to the programmers at Emagic when MOTU is at fault in this case.

I have no boot problem with Logic 5.5 OS X and my Motu system (2048 MKII + 24i + 1296) (54 ins 10 outs) I have heard discussions a month ago about clock problems in the Core audio. I have set mine to "Internal 324" and 44.1 ; it is working ;o))) not a single crash in 6 hours of mixing If I set it to 1296 internal my other Motu interfaces won't sync Did you manage to re-direct the OS X Sound Manager to a specific output ? Can you send a mail to Motu to report those problems. Can you also say to them that they forbidden the "wanadoo.fr" host, it is the site of the French France Telecom we are millions of users Best regards Cyril Blanc France
